Abstract
Transmitted waves can either add together in constructive interference or effectively cancel one another out in destructive interference. A Lloyd's mirror interferometer is a setup of an electromagnetic wave transmitter, a mirror, and a receiver that produces a measurable interference pattern based on the distance each component is place from one another. Finding the parameters of the setup that lead to constructive interference and a using a least squares regression relationship, the frequency of the transmitted wave was calculated. The frequency of the transmitted wave produced by the Pasco microwave transmitter is 10.5 plus or minus 0.1 GHz.
